This is Love

Over the past few weeks many of you have been pouring out your love and support to our family during our time of loss.  We want to thank each and every one of you for your cards in the mail, your texts with words of prayer and encouragement, your offers of a meal, your sweet hugs, and your donations towards Rose and towards helping my husband travel to go be with his family.  

This is Love!

Gods love for us is greater than what we can always understand.  Many times when we go through the valley it is hard to see and feel Gods love.  It is easy to doubt His existence and question why...why God?  Especially when it seems that life often deals crappy cards over and over again.  For those of you who are in the valley, we understand.  It is important in our faith journey to be able to grieve, to question, to feel but we have learned that Gods love is what sees us through, it is what sustains us and is what we know to never fail.  We choose to hold onto Him through this valley and to glorify Him in and through it.

This is Love!

As my husband prepares to travel to be with his family he desires to be close to his mom.  She has suffered great loss of two of her children in the past 5 years and her husband in the last 15 years.  As a mother I cannot even conceive the pain she feels.  My worst nightmare and one that some of you have had to endure would be the loss of your child.  When Barnabas calls home he asks for his mother.  She will tell Barnabas to call her often just so she knows he is near.  She longs for her children.  She longs for him to be near.

This is Love!

Many of you have asked what you can do or how you can help.  As we continue to "Restore Rose" we continue to seek Gods plan and what is next in her story.  The hospital will not release her body until her medical bill is paid.  This has proved to be quite a challenge which we are working through and with currently.  We are hoping the hospital will work with us to help discount her bill.  Please pray for favor and provision.  Barnabas is planning to travel home in the near future. If you are in a position to help we are looking at three projects that are on the table.

1. Raising funds for Rose's medical bill.  

2. Getting Barnabas home and to be able to help with funeral expenses

3. Little gifts or candies for the children.  (I was thinking maybe Easter basket style gifts since Easter is right around the corner)

If you would like to help out financially you can do so by either donating through the donate button which is tax deductible.  Your donations go to Jacobs Well Foundation which is a non profit organization that has been amazing to work with.  They do not take any cut of your donations and give 100% of it towards our projects.  If you prefer not to give online you can mail or wire directly to Jacobs Well. (info at the bottom of this post)

If you are interested in donating for the children you can mail or drop off items to my house.  Please email me at amandaagwuocha@gmail.com for more information.

We covet your prayers most of all and thank you for your support.  

This is Love!
